Converting gray image to colour and saving

[Ash Dunne]

Hi,

Firstly, apologies if this is a really dense question. I'm not experienced with writing macros at all but I'm pretty sure there must be a way to do this.

I've got a user who has loads of gray images (single channel) that need converting into colour (blue). We can't do this in photoshop as they're of various bit depth.

I'd like to write a macro that can then be used by the batch function in imagej.

All I've managed to come up with so far is:

run("8-bit");
run("Blue");
run("Enhance Contrast", "saturated=0.35");
run("Apply LUT");

However, this doesn't seem to be working. The process just seems to freeze.

I gather I don't need to worry about a SaveAs function as you select the location and output in the batch process.

Again, apologies for such a n00b question.

Kind regards,

Ash

This one does it for me:

run("Blue");
run("RGB Color");
